Failure is one of the things that fascinate me (Ben Owden) personally. Part of the fascination is the inevitability of failure, none of us seem to escape it. Part of the fascination is due to the enormous number of successful people crediting failure as one of their reasons for success. Part of the fascination is due to the enormous number of people who have quit their different conquests crediting failure as one of the main reasons for quitting. It seems to me, there are people who have learned to fail in a more progressive way that leads them closer to their goals. And there are others who simply fail catastrophically enough to not try again.
